seq_runtime/combinators.rs
1//! Dataflow combinators for Seq
2//!
3//! Higher-order words that manage value flow on the stack,
4//! reducing the need for explicit stack shuffling (swap/rot/pick)
5//! or auxiliary stack usage (>aux / aux>).
6//!
7//! These follow the concatenative tradition from Factor/Joy:
8//! - `dip` — hide top value, run quotation, restore value
9//! - `keep` — run quotation on top value, but preserve the original
10//! - `bi` — apply two quotations to the same value
11//! - `if` — branch on a Bool, invoking one of two quotations
